MSA2324G2 Network Problem

[ftepe]

Hi Everybody,

I have a new MSA2324G2 fc with 2 Controllers insertet. The Firmware Version on both Controller's is up to date.

Here my problem:
After starting the MSA, I can't find it in the network. Going to the CLI, I can see 2 valid IP Adresses. If I start pinging them, I got no reply. After rebooting SC and MC, I get a ping, but only for a few seconds, then the MSA is again unreachable.

What I've done so far:
restore defaults
set advanced-parameters partnerfirmware-update disabled
booted up with only one controller
set a manual ip adress

Is it possible to update the firmware via CLI? FTP isn't possible because I loose network connection after a few seconds after rebooting...

Any ideas???

Thank you

Are you absolutely certain that no other device is trying to use the IP?
(Cisco equipment often seems to 'forget' about renewing leased adresses after a while... )

What's the port status on your network?
Consider setting the speed/duplex manually for one of them to see if it stays online.

Yes I'm sure because it is in a test lab. There's only a 24 Port Switch (which is working well) and a firewall in front of it which is also the DHCP Server...
On every reboot of the MSA, I get a new IP Adress. Setting the IP manually doesn't have any effect. I always get a new DHCP Adress which is reachable for around 15sec after reboot...

oh I forgot to say: Port status is ok and speed settings also, elsewhen I would not be able to ping it after reboot...

get msa to latest firmware, it has a lot of management controller fixes. connect one controller to a server/laptop straight(bypassing switch) and verify if it is working. if you still had problems, probably you need a controller replacement
